September 12th - Saturday 9:30AM
Chicks Breakfast and Chapter Meeting  

Marty opened the meeting discussing our upcoming events.  She stressed how 

inportant it is for our members to respond to emails that are sent out. Whether you

are going to attend an event or unable to attend an event it is appreciated if everyone

 would please respond.  We realize we are all busy and have things going on but if

you check the blog or check the newsletter if you do have a computer and respond, it

 would be a great help.  Believe it or not, your respond or lack of can make or break 

and event from happening.  

Marty reviewed with the group the upcoming events, we have a lot of events coming up over the next few months left in 2015 and 2016 is starting to take off.

Brenda, Jeannette, Barb, Chucky and Ade, Sue bought up some great events to go to.

Marty also asked if our group would rather have more meetings to discuss upcoming event rather than continue with the blog, the vote was to continue with the blog . The subject of the Holday Party that was listed to occur on in the beginning of December.  It was decided tha we will have our Glitzy Chicks Holiday Party at Shirley's on December 19th.,

Marty then discussed our recent meeting with the Red hat Queen's Council.  She asked the 21 Chicks in attendance if they wanted to support the Council on their upcoming plans to Host a Red Hat Convention in Upstate New York in the year 2018.  the chicks showed a show of hands supporting the Queen's Council, by 100% support.  Our chapter also approved we would donate $100,00 over the next three yeats to the Queen's Council's convention fund by donating half of 50/50 raffle every time be meet to the Council fund.

We need to think about when we want to have our Birthday Bash Event. Does anyone have any ideas of a nice place to hold it and which month would be fun.  Please think about it so we can plan something.

The meeting ended with Brenda Earhart winning the 50/50!  Congratulations  Brenda!!

Please see below for additional information


From: edriep@gmail.com

Red Hatters:
I would like to invite you to visit Raquette Lake, New York in Hamilton County in the West Central portion of the Adirondack Mts.  There are so few people living year round in Hamilton County they say there are more bears there than people!  There also are no traffic lights in this county!  It is a very unusual place to visit.
The reason I would like to take you there is to take a luncheon cruise on the WW Durant, a lovely ship that will take you around the unusual lake that has 99 miles of shoreline.  Most of the area is owned by NYS so it is forever wild and not commercialized.  There are quite a few summer places on the lake that can only be reached by boat.  Their mail is delivered by boat!
A lovely luncheon will be served during the 2 hour cruise.  The chef is a graduate of the Culinary Institute so whatever is served will be delightful.
When we return to the village, I have added a half hour for you to visit the Raquette Lake Supply Co. that is very unique.  Inside they sell camping supplies, souvenirs, hardware, groceries, a butcher shop, a soda fountain, etc. in this building that was built in 1901.  The building is also a bakery, a tap room, and upstairs a hotel.
Next we will go 4 miles to visit the 1903 Great Camp Sagamore which has a lot of history.  It was William West Durant's last and greatest camp.  Unfortunately he only owned it for a short time and was forced to sell it as he was overextended.  It was purchased by the Vanderbilts.  There is quite a story about the history of this camp that will be told to you during your tour.
The details of the trip are as follows:
      we will meet at Latham Farms.  Park near Walmart.
          We will make a rest stop at McDonald's in Warrensburg.
     We will arrive at Raquette Lake around and board the boat at that time.
           The cruise will last from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
     It is a short walk to the Raquette Lake Supply Co. or you might choose to visit the
           the red caboose gift shop near the boat dock where everything sold there was
           made in the Adirondacks.
     Finally we will drive the short way to the Sagamore Great Camp for a tour of the 
           great camp as well as the many out buildings from 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM.
     We will leave for home shortly after this tour and again stop at the McDonald's in
           Warrensburg.
      We should be home by 7:30 PM.
The cost of the complete trip is $82 based on 30 people.  If more sign up, there will be a slight refund.  At this time I am asking for a $30 deposit at the time of your reservation.  I will cash all the checks and keep the money locked in my safe until needed.  On June 1 I would like the final payment of $52. 
Please make your check payable to Edrie M. Pregent, and send it to 196 Kenwood Ave., Delmar, NY 12054.  My telephone is(518) 439-3797 and e-mail is EdrieP@gmail.com.
